Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury NONPROLIFERATION: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TREASURY RESTRICTIONS A summary of Executive Order 13382, "Blocking Property of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators and Their Supporters"; the Weapons of Mass Destruction Trade Control Regulations (Part 539 of Title 31, Code of Federal Regulations); and the Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) Agreement Assets Control Regulations (Part 540 of Title 31, Code of Federal Regulations) INTRODUCTION - The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) implements three distinct sanctions programs designed to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The requirements under each of the programs are different. Each program is described in further detail in this brochure, but they can be summarized as follows: - Executive Order 13382 of June 28, 2005, blocks the property of persons engaged in proliferation activities and their support networks. OFAC administers this blocking program, which initially applied to eight organizations in North Korea, Iran, and Syria. Treasury, together with the Department of State, is authorized to designate additional WMD proliferators and their supporters under the new authorities provided by this Executive Order. - OFAC's Weapons of Mass Destruction Trade Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 539, implement a ban on imports into the United States, pursuant to Executive Order 12938. Under this program, the Secretary of State may name as subject to the ban foreign persons determined to have engaged in proliferation-related activities. - OFAC's Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) Agreement Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 540, implement Executive Order 13159 of June 21, 2000, "Blocking Property of the Government of the Russian Federation Relating to the Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted From Nuclear Weapons." These regulations and Executive Order 13159 are directed at the property used to carry out international agreements between the United States and the Russian Federation for the conversion of highly enriched uranium extracted from Russian nuclear weapons into low-enriched uranium for use in commercial nuclear reactors. The three WMD sanctions programs administered by OFAC are described in greater detail below. EXECUTIVE ORDER 13382, "BLOCKING PROPERTY OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION PROLIFERATORS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS" SUMMARY OF EXECUTIVE ORDER - Executive Order 13382 of June 28, 2005 (E.O. 13382), takes additional steps to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12938 of November 14, 1994 (see below), with respect to the proliferation of WMD and the means of delivering them. The Executive Order blocks the property of specially designated WMD proliferators and members of their support networks. The action effectively denies those parties access to the U.S. financial and commercial systems. The program is administered by OFAC. PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS -U.S. persons, meaning any U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien, U.S. company (including their foreign branches) and any person or company in the United States, are prohibited from engaging in any transaction or dealing with any party designated under Executive Order 13382. In addition, all property within the possession or control of any U.S. person in which a target has an interest is blocked and must be reported to OFAC within ten days. The names of those actually listed in the Annex to E.O. 13382, and any parties named subsequent to the Executive Order, are incorporated into OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. The parties blocked under this program are: The following names were listed in the Annex of Executive Order 13382 and have been incorporated into the SDN list with the program designation “[NPWMD].” They are listed here in OFAC’s SDN list format.

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION TRADE CONTROL REGULATIONS, 31 C.F.R PART 539 SUMMARY OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 12938, AS AMENDED - In Executive Order 12938 of November 14, 1994, President Clinton declared a national emergency with respect to the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons (weapons of mass destruction or WMD) and the means of delivering them. E.O. 12938 provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall prohibit the importation into the United States of goods, technology, or services produced or provided by foreign persons on which the Secretary of State has determined to impose an import ban because of their WMD proliferation activities. (Information or informational materials within the meaning of section 203(b)(3) of IEEPA, 50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(3), are exempt from this prohibition.) IMPORT BAN - OFAC issued the Weapons of Mass Destruction Trade Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 539 (the Regulations), to implement the import ban imposed under Executive Order 12938. The Regulations prohibit the direct or indirect importation into the United States, including for transshipment or transit, of any goods, technology, or services produced or provided by the foreign persons on which the Secretary of State has determined to impose an import ban pursuant to E.O. 12938 (designated foreign persons). The importation into the United States of goods or technology from third countries is also prohibited if undertaken with knowledge or reason to know that those goods contain raw materials, components, or technology produced or provided by a designated foreign person. In addition to banning imports, the Regulations prohibit U.S. persons from financing, acting as a broker for, transporting or otherwise participating in the importation into the United States of any goods, technology or services produced or provided by a designated foreign person. The term designated foreign person means any foreign person on which the Secretary of State has determined to impose an import ban pursuant to E.O. 12938 and any entities owned or controlled by that foreign person, including any subsidiaries and branches, successors, and persons acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of any of them. Services are considered to be imported into the United States where either the services or their benefit are received in the United States, regardless of where such services may be performed. The benefit of services performed is received in the United States if the services are: (1) performed on behalf of or for the benefit of a person located in the United States; (2) received by a person located in the United States; (3) received by a person located outside the United States on behalf of or for the benefit of an entity organized in the United States; or (4) received by an individual temporarily located outside the United States for the purpose of obtaining such services for use in the United States. FOREIGN PERSONS COVERED BY THE IMPORT BAN - The following foreign persons (with name variations as shown) have been determined by the Secretary of State to be subject to the import ban. The applicable effective date with respect to each designated foreign person and the citation to the State Department’s Federal Register notice appear in brackets following each entry. The import ban also applies to any entitiy owned or controlled by the named entitities. It is important to note that the parties determined to be subject to the import ban are not necessarily designated under Executive Order 13382. Therefore, the assets of parties that are subject to the import ban, but not Executive Order 13382, are not blocked. However, the importation into the United States of goods, technology, or services produced or provided by such persons, as well as related transactions, are prohibited.

In 1993, the United States and the Russian Federation entered into an international agreement for the conversion of highly enriched uranium (HEU) extracted from Russian nuclear weapons into low-enriched uranium for use in commercial nuclear reactors. Under this and related contracts and agreements (collectively, the HEU Agreements), 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium – the equivalent of 20,000 nuclear warheads – will be converted to low enriched uranium over a 20-year period. On June 21, 2000, President Clinton issued Executive Order 13159, “Blocking Property of the Government of the Russian Federation Relating to the Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted From Nuclear Weapons.” This order, explicitly directed at the property used to implement the HEU Agreements, prevents attachment or garnishment in the United States. It is meant to protect a very specific set of assets, defined by regulations, orders, directives, or licenses issued by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. The order does not block any property or interests in property of the Government of the Russian Federation that are not directly related to the implementation of the HEU Agreements. The Office of Foreign Assets Control issued the Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) Agreement Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 540, to implement Executive Order 13159. This document is explanatory only and does not have the force of law. The Executive Orders and implementing regulations relating to the proliferation of WMD contain the legally binding provisions governing the sanctions and this document does not supplement or modify those Executive Orders or regulations. The actual legal documents can be found in the Legal Documents section of OFAC’s website at www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/legal/wmd.shtml.
